It’s -1 for firing at a moving vehicle, +1 for firing at moving infantry.
This is what I find frustrating about board gaming. Having to remember. I forget very easily OR (as more likely in this case) I performed combat with infantry and "assumed" it was a +1 for firing at a moving target.

So many rules and so little brain capacity  :waah:

I knew I was in over my head when I saw this scenario had vehicles. I think I'm going to go away and do some infantry on infantry for the time being to get to grips with that aspect. Then I'll move onto vehicles. Then helicopters.

Thanks for your help everyone  :bigthumb:

I've just bought 4K X-Maps - seems like I'm in this for the long haul  :2funny:

I have no memory anymore either. But the info is on the DFT and OFT so keep looking at those every time you take a shot until you have it memorized. That's all I have done. I've been playing this system for 10+ years and still have to look up stuff. It's the nature of the game. You cannot possible remember it all. That's what charts and rule books are for. And the new rule book is fantastic for looking stuff up.

Wait til you get them. You won't understand how you ever played on the regular maps.

It is superb. Very easy to find things and the examples and rules are much clearer.

I've gone mad with LnL shit. I've bought the v5 Core rules, Solo Expansion, Day of Heroes, 4K X-Maps for Heroes of the Falklands and now today I bought the addon for Heroes of the Falklands - A Feat of Arms.

I'm now eyeing up LnL Heroes Against the Red Star.

Must....stop.....buying. I'll have to sell something else soon.

You might want to go see a doctor. It sounds like you have BanzaiCatitis.

Sounds like I could put any one of your lots names before "itis" and suffer from it.

bobitis
bayonetitis
sdritis
barthitis
tunitis

And so on.... :D

Bah! Pay no attention to the peasantry, JD! They are only wishing their immune systems were as lit as those of us with the collecting syndrome.

Give the armour scenarios in Falklands a whirl first.  Red Star is much more tank focussed than most other titles in the series so if armour isn’t your thing, you might want to look at other selections.

That's a good call. Thanks. I'm not quite down with armour at the moment and focusing on infantry for the moment.  :bigthumb:
